Peace in Pain
"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart."Psalm 34:18
Reflection
God does not disappear when we cry. That is exactly when He comes closer. Sadness does not push God away, it draws Him in.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for staying close when I cry. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Where is God when we cry?
- Does sadness push God away?
- Who can you comfort this week?
5-minute activity
